Storrie Lake State Park — Attraction in New Mexico

Called and asked if they had open, electric, pull thru for the night. Yes, Just come in and Ill help you, we close the gate at 5. Arrived about 2:30, talked to young person at window who could hardly hold eyes open due to heavy fake lashes. Paid. She began to tell me go L, go R, go L, go L. Take any open electric site. I then asked if any Pull thru so we Id not have to unhook tow. This whole time the 40 MH and Jeep are sitting in front of her line of site. She says take a L at stop sign and drive over many speed bumps and there are pull through. Now she finally gets a map out and shows me where to go. The left turn is a 45around this building. Drive to area. Sign says nothing over 26. She left that out. Unhook Jeep, back up coach and drive thru a reserved loop. Call office and ask her if we can have site #&?. Im a seasonal worker and I dont have access to reserved sites. Call NM state park office. Call NM State Park office. Closed except 8-12 on Saturday. Tried Reserve America who reservations are made via. No phone number to call, no same day reservations on website. Drive back to other end of park, get last back in electric site. Who cares, weve already unhooked Jeep. It’s just an...

We camped at Storrie Lake during dreary weather, which certainly doesn’t give the CG a chance to shine. On the bright side, the CG offers large, level sites with plenty of privacy. We had a 30amp/water site ($14 + online booking fee) and appreciated the easy to access dump station on the way out (also accessible on entry). Our Verizon worked without a booster, and there was plenty of room for walking our dog. This park is laid out a little funny, and we found the hard left upon entry to be challenging, and after that we were greeted with another hard left to enter the camp site area (less challenging than the first, but still seemed poorly planned). I see other reviewers noting that this CG is run down, and I would tend to agree, though it was hard to judge on our short stay. The park was clean, quiet, and there was a camp host and circulating park rangers. We would stay here again, but I didn’t see anything to make this a destination CG, more of useful overnight. It’s easy to access and close to a lot of handy amenities. It’s also worth noting there was a sign that said the water would be shut off beginning 10/1, which would make this spot less appealing if we were just...

I regularly visit Storrie lake. Very affordable camping. Beautiful lake! A backdrop of captivating forest/mountain scenery! At present due to a flood event the regular plumbed bathrooms are closed. All running water availability is off presently. The outhouse type are available...they usually lack regular spotful care and can be stunning as one enters them. When the regular restrooms are open they lack regular care cleaning too. Also a power spray wash of all table canopy facilities are in dire need. Grass/weeds are kept to a minimum. Respectfully speaking, a larger percentage of the local populace that frequent the lake have varying degrees of disregard with their general party life. Discarded bottles/trash. Unusual loud music and some drive with no regard to speed limit within the park so watch out Swim at your own risk. Boat at your own risk, as some of this party life is everywhere. Mostly mindful RV'ers at the reserved areas. A good sprinkling of primitive camping and a first come first serve camping area are available. Staff are mostly kind/friendly and helpful if available. This lake is a gem for New Mexico. It's sad due to the above, a darker opinion surfaces...
